Medication reconciliation has proven its efficiency in improving patients' care, especially for emergency patients. This study aimed to identify risk factors of unintended medication discrepancies (UMD) in an emergency department. Secondary objectives were to identify the number and type of UMD, correction rate of UMD and the impact of emergency department organisation on UMD.
The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of an intervention (delivered through a smartphone) for improving the mood, physical activity, and sleep of medical interns.
A retrospective cohort study was conducted from 2016-18 in a single busy district general hospital providing services to a population of 700,000 people. In the study, patients with true IDA (low MCV and ferritin) were found to be more likely to have Colorectal cancer compared to any other type of anaemia which confirmed the latest guidelines for management of IDA. Compared to symptoms, only the presence of a mass on abdominal examination and rectal examination was found to be more likely associated with cancer.
Poor mental health is getting more common in low- and middle-income countries than in high-income countries due to lack of available resources and access to health services. In these countries, there is a large treatment gap for mental health care, with the majority of people with mental disorders receiving no or inadequate care. Depression, for instance, is one of the most common mental disorders and it affects physical health, social activities, and quality of life of senior citizens. Despite being a commonly studied mental disorder, very little is known about depression interventions conducted in low resource settings. Recently, Filipinos' mental illness has been increasing and it affects around 10-15% of children and 17-20% of adults. Their major symptoms include excessive sadness, delusion, confusion, and forgetfulness. Additionally, more Filipino senior citizens are committing suicide due to depression. This is associated with their inability to adapt to rapid social and economic developments. In this study, the investigators aimed to assess the efficacy of 3-month-duration interventions with peer counseling, social engagement, and combined intervention vs. control in improving depressive symptoms among community-dwelling Filipino senior citizens.
This study is determining the therapeutic effect of Vitamin D supplements to Pcos clomiphene resistant polycystic ovarian syndrome Women. Half of patients will receive Vitamin D with metformin while other half metformin only. Then both groups start clomiphene for 3 month
Persons with chronic paraplegia at an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type-2 diabetes compared to the able-bodied population. There is mounting evidence from the able-bodied literature that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is more effective than moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) at improving markers of cardiometabolic health. Before we can understand the long-term training effects of HIIT in this population, it is important to compare the acute metabolic responses to a typical mixed-macronutrient meal following both exercise modalities. This study is recruiting adults (aged 18-65 years) with paraplegia (T2 or below) who sustained their spinal cord injury more than one-year ago. Participants will need to attend the laboratory at the University of Bath on four separate occasions, once for preliminary testing, and three times for study trials.
The purpose of this study was to examine the impacts of a 12-week resistance band exercise program on insulin resistance, blood lipid profiles, body composition, and blood pressure in postmenopausal women with obesity. Thirty-six postmenopausal women participated in this study. Participants were randomly allocated into the resistance band training group (EX, n = 18) or the control group (CON, n = 18). The EX group performed a resistance band exercise training program 60 minutes per day, 3 times per week, for 12 weeks. The CON group did not participate in any exercise, dietary, or behavioral intervention. Blood glucose, insulin, homeostatic model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), blood lipids, blood pressure, and body composition were measured before and after 12 weeks of EX or CON.
The cornerstone treatment for multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN), a rare and disabling dysimmune neuropathy, is intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg). The aim of this study is to identify prognostic factors of poor outcome. Data were retrospectively collected from MNN patients in three French centers. Patients were divided into two groups: a good outcome group and a poor outcome group. Demographic, clinical, biological and nerve conduction study features of MMN patients were analyzed. Identification of prognostic factors in MMN could help develop personalized treatment.
Nowadays, supraglottic airway devices are simple and effective alternatives to endotracheal intubation. Both laryngeal mask airway LMA and air-Q airway are supraglottic airway devices that can be used to maintain and protect airways from aspiration of secretions and blood during DCR surgery. The present study was designed to compare standard LMA versus air Q as regards the sealing effect and aspiration of blood in DCR surgery.
Bronchiolitis is the leading cause of pediatric intensive care unit admission in infants. Seizures during bronchiolitis may be a neurological complication of respiratory viruses but also of the treatments. The investigating team's hypothesis is that the incidence of seizures is not so so uncommon in infants hospitalized in the pediatric intensive care unit for severe bronchiolitis.
